![]() Physical books can help preserve exactly what the print of that book said when YOU bought it but unless it’s a new addition it’s likely already been changed especially if it’s a classic. And because news cycles picked up this particular change and made it into a story. It’s just much easier now to do that because of digital copies being much more prevalent. Things have been changed both by authors and by publications if they realize something was off color or just didn’t like the way it was received. The Bible has been changed god knows how many times because of translations and also because of people just wanting it to be different over history. If you go and read an original print of a book and then read the printing 10 years later it is often very very different. I mean specifically speaking about changing things in books, that has been happening literally forever. I’m not against digital copies but personally I really like to have physical copies for this reason. Btw, if a group wants to get a book off a shelf, it is being "challenged," if, for example, a school board or the state of Florida says yes, it needs to go, it's being censored. "Censorship" means something very specific with library folks. I think what's going on here is like how the word "theory" means different things in common usage and scientific usage. It is no more complicated than someone saying, “Don’t let anyone read this book, or buy that magazine, or view that film, because I object to it!” The censor wants to prejudge materials for everyone. Censors pressure public institutions, like libraries, to suppress and remove information they judge inappropriate or dangerous from public access, so that no one else has the chance to read or view the material and make up their own minds about it. Would-be censors try to use the power of the state to impose their view of what is truthful and appropriate, or offensive and objectionable, on everyone else.
